Ingredients

398 mL can sliced beets, drained

unsweetened apple sauce

2 tbsp. water

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. white vinegar

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup white flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup Splenda

1 tbsp. cornstarch

2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground cloves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Oil or spray two 8- or 9-inch cake pans.

Put the drained beets into the food processor with 1/4 cup (clear) water, and process until pureed.

Put the pureed beets into a 2-cup measure. Add enough apple sauce to reach the 2-cup line.

Add the 2 tablespoons water, vanilla extract, and vinegar to the beets and mix well.

Mix the dry ingredients together, add the beet mixture and stir until well-combined.

Bake for 35 minutes Test by inserting a toothpick into the center; it's done when the toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.

Can you just use 1 cup of splenda of instead of sugar and splenda , and also use all wheat flour instead of mix

jo_jo_ba 1 year, 10 months ago said:
All wheat flour yes, but it will be very dense. as for the splenda you can try but the result will be denser and possibly drier. Good luck!

Jo Jo I tried the cake it is very good but you were right it is a little heavy using the ingredients that I used, but it was still moist. I even made my icing from sugar free fat free choc mousse and it turned out good. Thanks for your help
